Default Top Ten Fly-Bys

We all remember Tom Cruise in the Movie " TOP GUN"

when he makes a low pass near the control tower

and causes an officer to spill coffee down his shirt.

Well here are short clips

of the top 10 low pass flybys ever filmed ...

And of course for nostalgia,

let's see that Top Gun low pass again.

Pay particular attention to the last shown low pass.

It is number one.

Watch the halo of water around the plane.

It happened during a Blue Angels event

over San Francisco several years ago.

It was the pilot's last show with the team

and he had nothing to lose.

Many of the boats in the bay lost windows

to the sonic blast.

It's a kick to watch.

Number 3 was pretty impressive too.
